Hhubbins: It would be great if Brazil and China could team up to topple the junta there.
*****
SouthAmerica: Why Brazil?
Burma is on Chinaâs backyard, but why Brazil should get involved on that mess, other than send some critical help because of the Hurricane?
*****
Hhubbins: Your Korea example proves only that your knowledge of history is a bit lacking. Korea was divided to avoid WW3 (Communism vs. Capitalism). It was a prudent choice.
*****
SouthAmerica: Korea it was divided because the United States did not have the capacity to beat the North Koreans on the battlefield.
It is that simple.
*****
Hhubbins: Why you feel the need to trash talk the US is really beyond me.
*****
SouthAmerica: I did not used to trash the United States before January of 2001.
Before January 2001 the US had some good and some bad governments over the years â but since January 2001 the US has had the worst government and the most incompetent since 1776.

Hhubbins: Kevin Phillips is not an economist. He is a political strategist. Show me a peer reviewed economics journal article that says US gdp is overestimated by 3-4 trillion dollars. Phillips can't be telling you something that you already know. He can be telling you something that you believe but, he isn't qualified to critique economic models developed by phd economists.
*****
SouthAmerica: If you had taken the time to read the article on Harperâs magazine you would know that Kevin Philips used the figures from John Williams a California-based economic analyst and statistician who is an expert on the official Washington numbers.
In a 2006 interview, Williams noted that although few Americans ever see the fine print, the government âalways footnotes the changes and provides all the fine detail. Nonetheless, some of the changes are nothing short of remarkable, and the patter over time is what I call Pollyanna Creep.â Williams is one of a small group of economists and analysts who have paid any attention to the phenomenon. A few have pointed out the understatement of the Consumer Price Index â the billionaire bond manager Bill Gross has described it as an âhaute con job,â and Bloomberg columnist John Wasik has dismissed it as â a testament to the art of spin.â â¦.
There are many well know economists that are aware of what has been going on since the early 1980âs
Please donât mention the economic models developed by phd economists â they have a very poor track record on Wall Street.
Maybe because they are using data published by the US government on their models data that is not worth even the paper that they use to publish such a data.
